They have now been reunited with the ambulance crew who delivered their baby and the gritter man who freed the vehicle from the snow.

Emergency call taker Lucy Channer was able to direct Sarah and Gareth to meet the ambulance on a side road away from the dual carriage way after their car had become gridlocked in traffic and stuck in the snow on the A1.

“It was great to be able to meet everybody and put a face to the voice on the end of the phone.”

Duty operations manager Rachael Wallace was first on scene after driving around Stamford looking for the couple.

She was shortly followed by ambulance crew paramedic James Olgesby and technician Phillip Lane.

After getting Sarah in the back of the ambulance, it soon became apparent that Baby Arlo was going to arrive sooner than expected, and within 10 minutes he was welcomed into the world.

Sarah said she remembered thinking that everybody had said they were going to leave to go to the hospital but remembered thinking that the ambulance was not moving.

Rachael added: “We started trying to move but due to vehicles being stuck everywhere we soon had to stop and became stuck ourselves. Phil tried putting the snow socks on the ambulance. However, a gentleman from close by came to help with his 4X4. He pulled us out."
